    4. Who is required or asked to report: Persons receiving, 
possessing, using, or transferring byproduct material in certain items.
    5. The estimated number of annual respondents: Approximately 6,600 
NRC general licensees and 26,400 Agreement State general licensees.
    6. The number of hours needed annually to complete the requirement
